Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Ocean acidification (OA), from seawater uptake of anthropogenic CO2, has a suite of
negative effects on the ability of marine invertebrates to produce and maintain their …

Ocean acidification can negatively impact marine bivalves, especially their shell
mineralization processes. Consequently, whether marine bivalves can rapidly acclimate and …

Biomineralization is one of the key processes that is notably affected in marine calcifiers
such as oysters under ocean acidification (OA). Understanding molecular changes in the …

Pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) is an economically valuable shellfish for seawater pearl
production. However, many pearl oysters are dying as the global climate warms and …

Commercial shellfish aquaculture is vulnerable to the impacts of ocean acidification driven
by increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption by the ocean as well as to coastal …

Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers based on laboratory
studies showing that increased seawater acidity weakens their ability to build calcareous …

Recently, global demand for seafood such oysters is increasing as consumers seek healthy
and nutritive alternatives to a diet dominated by animal protein. This trend is attributed to the …

Ocean acidification typically reduces coral calcification rates and can fundamentally alter
skeletal morphology. We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) and microindentation to …

The ecosystem services approach to conservation is becoming central to environmental
policy decision making. While many negative biological invasion-driven impacts on …
